Aspen Trails blends housing choice and convenience in Sherwood Park

Aspen Trails, a housing development by Genstar on Sherwood Park’s burgeoning north side, aims to meet the needs of prospective buyers, crafting a community with traditional styling and attention to detail.

Particular tastes may vary, but most prospective home buyers are looking for close proximity to shopping and amenities, easy access to commuter routes, a variety of styles and sizes to choose from, nearby schools, walking paths in natural surroundings, and, if they can swing it, a stylish home at an affordable price.

Aspen Trails, a housing development by Genstar on Sherwood Park’s burgeoning north side, aims to meet each of those needs and more, crafting a community with traditional styling and attention to detail. Many homes in the Aspen Trails development have sloped roofs, charming verandas, and heritage details that add to the neighbourhood’s curb appeal, fronted by a stained-glass style sign that welcomes residents home.

The development has an array of housing options available, including low-maintenance condominiums, stylish duplexes and bungalows, and even some luxury estate homes. Seven award-winning homebuilders operate within Aspen Trails, offering a range of housing options for everyone from first-time buyers to long-established homeowners looking to downsize. Home prices start in the mid-$300,000s.

Aspen Trails has been carefully designed with that mix of age ranges in mind, producing a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use community for young families, active adults and seniors. Residents have easy access to a network of nearby parks and playgrounds along paved walking paths that link to Sherwood Park’s Heritage Trail system. The community also features an urban forest, a storm water pond, and a creek system that features several waterfalls.

People searching for recreational opportunities outside the development don’t have to look far. Located just south of the Yellowhead Highway, Aspen Trails is minutes away from Emerald Hills Regional Park, which features an artificial turf field, and the adjacent aquatic centre at the Emerald Hills Leisure Centre. Meanwhile, entertainment and retail opportunities abound, letting residents combine the benefits of a relaxed lifestyle with the amenities of city living. Strathcona Community Hospital is also located nearby, giving residents additional peace of mind.
